Zen Coding

Posted by kdawson on from the change-your-life dept.

Download Squad has a quick review, with video, of Zen Coding (Google Code project page here), an extremely well-thought-out accelerator for anyone who codes HTML. Its syntax is CSS-like. Zen Coding has been around for a while — here's its author Sergey Chikuyonok's introduction in Smashing Magazine from last November — and it has now picked up support for more than a dozen editing environments, including Notepad++ and TextMate.

    don't mock the Notepad++....it's very powerful, yet lightweight and unbloated.

    I'm sure many slashdotters here also live by the "Notepad++ code"....

    Maybe you should make that, please keep your SQL, PHP, JavaScript, CSS and HTML seperate.

    Zen has nothing to with "spirituality".

    Oh come on, try to make an effort.

    It should be "Zen has nothing to do with spirituality and everything to do with spirituality" or "The student asked about the spirituailty in Zen. 'Lemons', replied the master, and the student was enlightened".
